Trade Embiid for Ja. Run a Maxey, McCain, Morant, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George starting lineup. Set ourselves on fire.

Ja Morant & Zion have to be in the bag fumbler hall of fame. Both were positioned to be megastars and they both failed because of pure stupidity.

Can't underestimate the value that Morant brings to a team. We all saw how bad Memphis was without him. Now that he's healthy, they're winning again.

For once, I want a player I don’t have to worry about being suspended or injured—someone who prioritizes winning a championship over themselves. I just don’t see that in Morant.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

day late dollar short. Embiid's now a distressed asset. Could of probably traded for Ja when he hit rock bottom last season

Last year i thought Morant was way better than Maxey, but nowadays it seems the distance between then is pretty slim . Morant is a better passer and is more athletic, but hes a way worse shooter it seems.

Please God no.

The second he get's here his knee is going to explode in a million pieces.

That being sayed, Memphis could be the perfect fit for Biid, he can load manage all season there.

I'm completely over the concept of acquiring a star through trade or free agency.

Draft and develop, only.

I'm right there with ya. Morant has definitely helped Memphis win and will continue to do so, but if the idea is to build a sustainable winning team, then we do it through the draft and by making smart additions as we go.
